I wonder how many votes I would get for the "most boring blog ever". Actually. Since I do have an occasional update, I doubt it is the most boring blog ever. And since I don't think I get many readers, I doubt many people would even know to vote for me.

So I'm here today to interject some excitement: I cleaned out Gary's (my pet snail) bowl yesterday. The algae had grown quite thick. And I'd grown tired of trying to fish out one glob of it at a time while the compiler was working. Today the bowl is still clear. I tried to get as much algae off Gary as possible too. I think that was the reason my last bowl cleaning failed so quickly.

I think this is a clever idea. Clever in the sense that friendships are the essence of life. Not sure where I am going with this except to say I want to bring my friends (old and new) into a global tribe.

The goals: local people have an opportunity to meet weekly. remote people are invited to get together at least once a year. It takes a village of friends...
